Title Changes and Continuation: See also Weekly Critic, Dufferin, Manitoba

General Description and Notes:

According to Loveridge, the Daily Police News and Dufferin Weekly Critic represented the first efforts at rural journalism at Swan River and Fort Dufferin by North West Mounted Police in 1875 and 1876. These may have been the earliest Manitoba newspapers outside Winnipeg. Loveridge calls them “newsletters” and distinguishes them from “true newspapers.”
